Berlin News ASSESSING SYSTE " CLAINED UNEQUAL ' Pormer First Selectman Appeals to Board of Reliet "IN COURT FOR {8TH TINE Sam Hook Discharged by Judge Griswold—Shooting Case Contin- ued—Factory to Double Personnel «—=Oppose New School—Ttems. Claiming that there is not quality under the present system Of assess- - ment, Willard 1. Alling, former first selectman, has asked for a reduction n his assessment and will be grant- ed a hearing before the board of relfef. He is assessed for approximately $43.000, he sald today. Although the report has been about that he will appeal to superior court if the board of relief does not see ‘it to reduce his assessment, he fail- ed to confirm the report this morn- !ing. Neither did he said that he would not make the appeal. He ex- iplained he was confident he would be given a reduction and that he did not want to take any action until (the occasion arises. ' Mr. Alling pointed out several .cases where assessment was not large enough while fin others the assessment was too large. He con- siders he is among the latter class. Arrested for 18th Time Sam Hook of Kensington made its 18th appearance hefore a judge in court and his 10th in Berlin last night when he was charged with creating a disturbance In his home Monday night. He was warned by Judge George Griswold to he more ‘peaceful in the future and his case wan discharged. The case of Robert Lynes of Ken- ‘sington, charged with carrying con- cealed weapons, was continued for two weeks. He is alleged to have shot a lineman of the Connecticut 1.ight & Power Co. on January 25. ‘The lineman is in the Hartford hos- pital at the present time. There is & pomsiblity of gangrene setting in and it was decided to continue the case until the exact results of the shooting are learned. A decision as to whether the shooting was acci- dental or intentional will be made in the meantime. Oppose New School That the town of Berlin is not in & position financially to construct a new $130,000 school building of 12 rooms and that there is no need for k building of that size in Berlin ut he present time are two points ;which will be argued by opponents of the move for a new school build- ing in Kensington. when the question comes up at the town meeting Fri- day night. In a conversation with two promi- nent members of the town govern- ment this morning it was learnsd ,that when the plan is brought up for discussion there will be considerable opposition from the conservative Jportion of the town’s population. The point is argued that the three districts of Berlin, East Ber- lin and Kensington are not growing fast enough to Tequire & new 12- iroom bulding. According to one of- tficial today, an addition of four rooms on the present Kensington !Grammar school would care for the present influx and for any increase which may ceme during the next few years. The school board is back of the Psopositioa solidly and it enjoys the approval of most of the town gov- ernment fficers. Whether or not those in opposition to the plan can muster enough opposition among the townspeople to defeat the measure will probably not be knows until Friday night's meeting. Five points are listed in the cail of the mceting, but if the first point, that of determining whether or not the town wants the proposcd addition, is defeated there will be no need of voting on the other four points, which includes financing, sale of bonds and appointment of a com- mittee to supervise the construction. “Church is Devine” “The church is the one organiza- tion that is divine; the lodge characterized by its own spirit an a business organization by its own spirit of business but the true church of Christ is characterized by the divine spirit of God.” Thus spoke Rev. Robert Huggins, pastor of the Advent church of New Dritain, at a meeting of the Ken- sington Men's forum at the Kensing- ton Methodist church last night. | Despite the inclement weather a large number of men were present. The speaker pointed out that where the word of God has had half & chance among nations civilization has advanced far ahead of that of sections where 1t has been sup- pressed. Such a transformation as is seen in national life can be dupli- cated in community life if the church can find in the community a receptivity to its message, the worg of God, the speaker added. In the discussion that was carried on by the audience there was the agreement that the church still has a necessary and vital message for the man of today, and various sug- gestions were offered as to how it can make its message attractive to the masses. At 9:30 o’'clock refreshments were scrved and at many of the tables in- formal discussions of the subject of the evening continued. Next week the forum will move to the Kensington Congregational church, where it will hold its next three meetings. Annluncement of details of the next meeting will be made later. To Double Working Force When the new $75.000 addition to the G. E. Prentice Mfg. Co. is com- pleted the working force of the company will be doubled. it was learned today from A. B. Porter, secretary and treasurer of the com- pany. At the present time the factory employs approximately 150 persons. ‘The floor space will be doubled un- help will be required, said. The G. L. Prentice Co. #as been in existence since 1912 and annually Mr. Porter der the proposed program and more | there has been a large increase in busincss. The past year was es- pecially successful and it was after the company had completed its in- ventory that it decided it should ex- pand. It specializes in buckles, metal trimmings for clothing, and auto- matic fasteners. To Inaugurate Scason Plans are under way for one of the most successful seasons in the 22 years that Mattabesett Fishing association has been in existence, and already the work of stocking the Kensington Paper Goods pond and the reservoir near the bungalow on the Meriden road has begun.

Marking the start of a atate-wide campaign for the formation of 10 Lions clubs which will receive th charters at a simultancous banquet at the Shuttle Mcadow club in New Britain some time next month, the le lions club with ¢2 mem- bers was temporarily organized last night as the first of the 10 new clubs. ¥red C. Teich, vice president of the New Britain Lions club, was toastmaster. Despite the inclement weather about 100 men, including prospective members of the new club and delegations from New GEORGE A. QUIGLEY Dritain and Torrington, were pres- ent at the Plainville Congregational church, where the meeting took place. Dinner was scrved by the women of the church. 1n opening the meeting, Mr. Teich introduced Russell H. Patterson, president of the Torrington club, who spoke on the advantages of 80- cial contact betw civic ¢club mem- bers. He said a lLions club was an lideal place in which members can rub elbows with those whom they {would not ordinarly meet under different circumstances, Similar sentiments were expressed by B. Bolle, another officer of the Torington club. How the Lions club has function- ed in the civic upbuilding of New Britain was explained by P. I*. King of New Britain. Mr. King character- ized civic clubs as powers for good in a community. He referred to the fact that men may differ in politics, religion or even be business com- petitors and still keep their differ- ences on the plane of honest and friendly disagreements which do not interfere the slightest with their friendly relations. He told his hearers that for sev- eral years the New Britain Lions club has contributed approximately $1,000 to each of the two orphan- ages in the city. He told the Plain- ville men that a new civic club here would be a great influence in help- ing to crystalize public opinion and concluded with the statement that the privilege of meeting a group of men once a weck whom one might not otherwise mcet oftener than once or twice a year was ample com- pensation in itself. .. W. Vogel, of New Britain, in a semi-humorous talk, brought out the fact that, to many motorists !going through New Britain to New York, Plainville was *“just another step down the line.” He caused a laugh when he said South- ington had become ambitious and had branched out to the point where it now boasts a traffic light. He em- phasized the importance of men becoming better acquainted with <PLAINVILLE?® TONIGHT and THURS. CHARLES MURRAY VAMPING VENUS” | | GEORGE SIDNEY 1 and 4 HERSHOLT In “GIVE AND TAKE" Him! - 2, rjare called sach other and told what the possi- bilities were of a Lions clup in Plainville actually doing things of real civic importance to the town. Calling attention to changes in the lives of men and the need for show- ing activity at all times, he said: you are going to be dead Lion down and die now before you start. The bum today is the king tomor- row. The king tomorrow is material for the undertaker day after tomor- row.” He enjoined the men to form their club and to make it & power for community development, Advantages he has gotten out of & Lions club membership were told by Robert Patterson of New Britain. Rev. Raymond N, Gilman, pastor of the Stanley Memorial church and & vice president of the New Britain Lions club, said he felt it a privilege for a minister to belong to an or- ganization where he would be treat- ed like an ordinary man. Mr. Gilman expressed pleasure in the fact that he was not “Reverend in the Lions club but plain He said this friendly feel- ing is an exhilaration to those who “reverend” most of the ilime and helps to relieve the feel- ing that they are kept on a pedestal. He added that it is an advantage to an organization to have differences of opinion and thereby have general discussions on matters of city wide | interest. “Who wants to be a mem- ber of an organization where every- body agrces with everybody else?"” he asked. “A Lion is one who gives himself in the service to hia fellowmen,” the minister defined. The importance of a definite ideal or object was stressed by George A. Quigley, four times mayor of New Britain and president of the New Britain Lions club. He said a civic club is an organization of varied interests and high ideals. Thesc ldeals, he explained are included in & trinity consisting of God, home and country, which, he sai em- braced all American ideals, “If we £0 about with a chip on our shoul- ders, seeing none of the good, scat- tering half truths, telling things that work an injury only, we are a men- ace to the community.” He con- tinued “If a club meets but once a week, eats an ordinary dinner, dis- cusses & few commonplace things, and listens to a speech, while it may be true that you are rubhing elhows with your fellowman, what have you accomplished? When a group of men will band together for a speci- fic purpose, then there is an object for that organization's existence.” The former mayor called atten- tion to Lafayette street in New Brit- ain, which he said contained business places operated by men from almost every country in the world except Japan. This cosmopolitan gathering, he explained, never becomes a homogeneous whole until the men come into close contact with each other and rub clbows. Unless you become intimate with a fellow you never really become acquainted with him, he said. “1f we don't rub elbows with a man in our ordinary life we don't become acquainted with him, we don’t care about him, and he doesn’t care about us. You've got to know men, their idcals, and what they are striving for. It makes for community interest. “You have in your town a minis- ter who recently spoke to us about certain magazines. I don’t care who he is or what his standing in your community. His ideals were right. He was against rot and fiith that contaminates your children and mine. “If Plainville and New Britain Lions clubs can stand out against that kind of filthy and rotten litera- ture, let's astamp it out and be of service to God, our country, and our homes.” Short talks were made by Henry 8. Washburn, H. Garfield Jones and others of the Plainville club. The club will receive its charter along with nine others at the S8huttle Meu- dow club. probably within 30 days, according to Mr. Teich. The following temporary officers were elected and will have charge until charter night, when officers will be elected for a year: President, H. Garfield Jones: first vice president, Burton H.

Bussemy Dies After Long liness—To Open Branch Postal Station—Auto Case Continued— Two Thefts Reported. The program of the public works department for the year ending No- vember 30, 1929, calls for the re- placement of three bridges by ones of concrete construction and will leave but four old structures to be 1enewed within the next few years. Those to be replaced and for which appropriations are included in this year's cstimates are located at Liast street, Perkins strect and Stevens street. Two old bridges on Me- chanics strect, ome on Frederick street, and one on Washington street will undoubtedly be given con- sideration by the next coundil. The three new bridges included on this year's program will cost the city $19,500, this expense to be car- riad over a term of three ycars. The estimated expense involved in tk erection of the Last street bridge is $12,000; the Perkins street bridge, $3,500; and the Stevens street struc- ture, $4,000. Reopening of East Strect The erection of the proposed new bridge at East street will mean the reopening of the street for travel from Riverside avenue across the Memorial Boulevard to South street. Secveral years ago, when the boule- vard was built, the bridge was con- demned as unsafe and travel over it was prohibited. The old structure was never removed, however, and at the present time presents an un- sightly appearance. When the new bridge traffic, it is understood that the old abandoned factory building, locat- ed just west of West strect between Riverside avenue and Mellen street and owned by J. H. Sessions and Son, will be torn down. This build- ing has bheen an eyesore ever since the new boulevard was constructed. In urging the council to erect a new bridge at Kast street and re open that street as a public highway, Mayor W. Raymond Crumb pointed out that there had been some doubt as to the legality of the city's action in ever closing the street. Corpora- tion Counsel William N. De Rosier city council had overstepped its {power in closing a street which had been open for travel for so many years. Work on the new bridge, accord- ing to the present plans, will be arted in the spring and will, be- ides furnishing an additional en- |trance and exit to the Memorial Boulevard from both South street and Riverside avenue, will also en- hance the beauty of the east en- trance to the city proper.
